to as the "Employee").

WITNESSETH THAT:

WHEREAS, the Employee is employed by the Employer; and

WHEREAS, the Employer is desirous of retaining the services of the Employee and
of assisting the Employee in paying for life insurance on his own life; and

WHEREAS, the Employer has determined that this assistance can be provided under

or policies listed in the attached schedule hereto, hereinafter referred to as
the "Policy"; and

WHEREAS, the Employer and the Employee agree to make the Policy subject to this
Agreement; and

amounts to be advanced by the Employer under this Agreement by an instrument of
assignment filed with the Insurer (hereinafter referred to as the "Assignment");

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual covenants
herein contained, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

      c. The Employer shall not borrow against the Policy without the express
      written consent of the Employee.

      d. Upon the Employee's termination of employment, the Employee shall have
      the right to take any action with regard to the cash value of the policy
      in excess of the collaterally assigned interest of the Employer.

      action necessary to obtain its share of the death benefit provided under
      the Policy.

      such Death Benefit equal to the total amount of its share of the premiums

      the Employer. The balance of the Death Benefit provided under the Policy,
      if any, shall be paid directly by the Insurer to the beneficiary or
      beneficiaries and in the manner designated by the Employee. No amount

      reason, the Employee has the right to continue to keep the Policy in force
      either individually or through a subsequent Employer, subject to the
      requirement that the Policy cash value not be reduced through loans,
      premium payment options, or in any other manner below the amount needed to
      repay the Employer the Net Premiums paid by it hereunder.

      b. If the Employee continues to keep the Policy in force, termination of
      this Agreement shall be pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement.

      exists.
